India’s woman trap shooter Aashima Ahlawat finished fourth, narrowly missing out on a medal by virtue of having a higher bib number, on the penultimate day of the ISSF Junior World Championship in Lima, Peru. She was by far the best Indian on show on the day, which had both the men’s and women’s trap finals on the roster.

Sinner and Alcaraz advance in Shanghai Masters

Top-ranked Jannik Sinner overcame a one set deficit to rally to a 6-7(3) 6-4 6-2 win against Tomas Martin Etcheverry at the Shanghai Masters. A night after winning his 250th career match with a straight-set victory, the 23-year-old Italian faced a much sterner third-round examination against the No. 37-ranked Argentine under the roof due to rain. Fifth-ranked Daniil Medvedev also came from behind for a 5-7 6-4 6-4 victory against Matteo Arnaldi. Second-ranked Carlos Alcaraz, who won the China Open on Wednesday for his fourth title of the year, defeated Chinese player Wu Yibing 7-6(5) 6-3.

Juventus held by Cagliari in front of watching Paul Pogba

It was another chaotic day for Juventus on Sunday. A late Razvan Marin penalty saw visitors Cagliari rescue a 1-1 draw in Serie A. That was the first goal Juventus had conceded in the league this season. Much of the talk before the match had been about midfielder Paul Pogba’s four-year ban for doping being reduced to 18 months on Friday. Pogba, who will be free to resume his career in March, was watching from the stands.
